Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin visited Still Sea Temple, where he learned of the old abbot’s troubled past and the temple’s declining standing. Jingxin went to fetch the Heavenly Dragon Water while Jingsha and Jingwu told Ye Lin where to seek the remaining materials.

• The old abbot’s ambition and reckless actions cost Still Sea Temple its reputation, and he returned from a failed challenge against the Sea Race with lasting injuries.
• Ye Lin arrived at Still Sea Temple and respectfully bowed to the statue of the monk who had founded its legacy.
• Jingxin left to fetch the Heavenly Dragon Water for Ye Lin.
• Jingsha and Jingwu told Ye Lin that Dragon-Holding Grass could be found in distant Dragon Valley, where a True Dragon had once fallen.

Ye Lin learned where to seek the Dragon-Holding Grass and Primordial Spirit Fruit, then received the Still Sea Temple’s Heavenly Dragon Water in exchange for a promise to return and save its abbot. Jingxin and his junior brothers were left depending on Ye Lin, whom Jingxin suspected had already found the Radiant Fruit.

• Jingwu told Ye Lin that the Alchemy Association’s auction in Sky City might offer a Primordial Spirit Fruit and suggested he ask there about the Seven-Treasure Flower.
• Jingxin gave Ye Lin the Still Sea Temple’s entire stock of Heavenly Dragon Water and asked him to honor their agreement.
• Ye Lin promised to return once his friend recovered, stored the Heavenly Dragon Water, and departed.
• Jingwu and another monk questioned whether Ye Lin could be trusted, but Jingxin said they had no other choice.
• Jingxin suspected Ye Lin had found the Snowman Clan and that the Radiant Fruit was already in his possession.

Jingxin deduced that Ye Lin had obtained the Snowman Clan’s only Radiant Fruit and concealed their location, but chose not to pursue him. He revealed that Ye Lin’s Dao Pill Master friend might be able to refine a pill that could heal their master, leaving Still Sea Temple to gamble on Ye Lin keeping his promise.

• Jingxin reasoned that the Snowman Clan lived beneath the Endless Icefield and that Ye Lin had erased traces of his visit after taking their sole Radiant Fruit.
• Jingsha suggested searching for the Snowman Clan, but Jingxin said Ye Lin had obstructed them because the Radiant Fruit was already in his hands.
• Jingxin explained that one Radiant Fruit could only prolong their master's life, so capturing Ye Lin for it would not solve their problem.
• Jingxin revealed that he had found records of the True Unity Source-Splitting Qi Pill, which a Dao Pill Master could refine to heal even a Golden Immortal's injuries.
• Jingxin told Jingsha and Jingwu that they had to trust Ye Lin and exchange for the pill, since it could heal their master and advance his cultivation.

Jingxin chose to trust Ye Lin rather than suppress him, gambling Still Sea Temple’s future on his promise. Ye Lin then traveled to Heavenly City, the powerful center of alchemy on Origin Continent, and arrived there safely.

• Jingxin decided not to attack Ye Lin, hoping he would keep his promise and resolve Still Sea Temple’s crises.
• Jingxin’s two junior brothers accepted his decision despite having no say in it.

Ye Lin learned the Million Trading House’s auction procedures and the likely cost of bidding for Primordial Spirit Fruits. The young man advised him to buy a private room before the auction began tomorrow.

• The young man told Ye Lin that the auction would be held at the Million Trading House and that five Primordial Spirit Fruits were available.
• The young man estimated that Ye Lin would need at least one million Supreme Immortal Stones to bid for three fruits, and possibly around ten million if competition arose.
• The young man explained how private-room grades reflected cultivation and status, and warned Ye Lin that bidders in the main hall could be targeted by shills.
• The young man led Ye Lin to the Million Trading House and urged him to buy a private room and avoid the main hall.
• Ye Lin acknowledged the advice and recognized that the young man’s information had saved him trouble and money.

Ye Lin entered the Million Trading House to reserve a private room for the auction, using his Heavenly Saint Imperial Dynasty identity to secure a Heaven-class room. He settled into Heaven-class Number Three and rewarded the attendant.

• Lin Jiaojiao told Ye Lin which six treasures would open the auction and massaged his temples while he waited.

The Million Trading House began an auction backed by the Alchemist Association, opening with an Origin-Returning Pill while Ye Lin showed no interest in buying it. The bidding started among the auction house’s shills, and the chapter ended as the pill’s price began to rise.

• The narrator explained that auctioning the five Primordial Spirit Fruits separately could earn more, and that the Alchemist Association protected its wealth through its control of alchemists across the Origin Continent.

• Lin Jiaojiao explained the pill’s effects to Ye Lin, but Ye Lin thought it was inferior to pills Wang Tian could casually refine.

Ye Lin ignored the auction until the Primordial Spirit Fruit came up, then had Lin Jiaojiao bid one million Supreme Immortal Stones for it. The bidding was still underway when the chapter ended.

• Ye Lin dismissed the earlier auction items while Lin Jiaojiao wondered why he had spent so much if he was only there for amusement.

• As the price climbed to five hundred and thirty thousand Supreme Immortal Stones, Ye Lin signaled Lin Jiaojiao to bid one million.

• Ye Lin's one-million-Supreme-Immortal-Stone bid for the first Primordial Spirit Fruit silenced the auction hall.
• Bidders in Heaven-class Rooms One and Two backed down, and the auctioneer awarded the fruit to the guest in Heaven-class Room Three.
• Ye Lin considered the remaining fruits and relied on his vast reserves of Supreme Immortal Stones and Law Source Stones.
• Lin Jiaojiao calculated that her commission could reach ten thousand Supreme Immortal Stones, enough to redeem her freedom.
• Bidders began competing for the next Primordial Spirit Fruit, with offers rising from three hundred thousand Supreme Immortal Stones.

The bidding for the Primordial Spirit Fruit escalated as several Heaven-class private rooms competed, until Heaven-class Private Room Number Three made a two-million-stone bid. A cloaked young man who had come with one million Supreme Immortal Stones began to doubt whether he could afford the fruit and vowed to rob the wealthy bidders someday.

• A black-clad man bid seven hundred thousand Supreme Immortal Stones for the Primordial Spirit Fruit.
• Heaven-class Private Rooms Number One, Number Five, and Number Two repeatedly raised their bids against one another.

• A cloaked young man who had brought one million Supreme Immortal Stones worried that he could not afford the fruit and cursed the wealthy bidders.

• The old man awarded the first Primordial Spirit Fruit to Heaven-class Private Room No. 3 for two million Supreme Immortal Stones and opened bidding on the next fruit.
• A black-clothed young man bid five hundred thousand Supreme Immortal Stones, but Heaven-class Private Room No. 1 outbid him with one million.

• Lin Jiaojiao grew more respectful toward Ye Lin, whose purchase meant she could redeem herself and leave with several of her sisters.
• Heaven-class Private Room No. 5 bid one million eight hundred thousand Supreme Immortal Stones and released a restrained Golden Immortal aura to pressure the other bidders.

Ye Lin outbid the other guests for a third Primordial Spirit Fruit, offering three million Supreme Immortal Stones. His rivals backed down, and the auction moved on to the next fruit.

• The cloaked man charged again with slightly increased strength, but Ye Lin pinned him down and killed him with a streak of sword light.

Ye Lin examined Jiang Chen and discovered that his unusual fate made him impossible to kill permanently and placed him beyond the Heavenly Dao’s judgment. As Jiang Chen began reviving, Jiang Qing and an old man arrived, leaving Jiang Qing shocked by his return to life.

• Ye Lin inspected Jiang Chen’s panel and learned that Jiang Chen had a saint-protected, undying body and would grow stronger whenever he died.
• Ye Lin realized he could not permanently kill Jiang Chen and that becoming Jiang Chen’s enemy carried dire consequences.
• Jiang Chen’s corpse began to regain its life force.
• Ye Lin sensed Jiang Qing and an old man approaching, and Jiang Qing commented on the Primordial Spirit Fruit before noticing Jiang Chen’s corpse.

• Jiang Chen activated an Identity Token, wounded Jiang Qing, and vanished before she could catch him.
• Jiang Qing ordered her people to search the Origin Continent and capture Jiang Chen.
